Using the integrated numeric keypad
Component Description
num lk key Alternates between the navigational and numeric functions on the
integrated numeric keypad.
NOTE: The keypad function that is active when the computer is
turned off remains on when the computer is turned back on.
Integrated numeric keypad Can be used like an external numeric keypad.
Using an optional external numeric keypad

off. (Num lock is turned off at the factory.) For example:

●
When num lock is off, most keypad keys function like the arrow, page up, or page down keys.

Press the num lk key on the external keypad, not on the computer.
